[67] IndieWire reviewer David Ehrlich, who gave the film a "C" on an A to F scale, likewise praised the film for its striking visuals, and for the characters of Kyōjurō Rengoku and Enmu, but said its R rating was excessive. [68] By contrast, Anime News Network reviewer Kim Morrissy and Variety reviewer Peter Debruge compared the animation quality unfavourably to that of the TV series.

Yūma Takahashi, the producer of the anime series, indicated a desire to continue production of the series with the Ufotable Production Team. The sequel project was greenlit following the success of the television series. A film was determined to be the best format for the "Mugen Train" arc due to the arc's shorter content and dramatic pacing.

[9] The main production staff from the anime television series, as well as the cast, were carried over into the film's production. Haruo Sotozaki served as director, with Akira Matsushima and Manabu Kamino serving as animator and editor of the film, respectively.

The curara system assists both the hip and knee joints and supports the wearer’s rhythmic gait using a synchronization control based on a central pattern generator. The system reflects the wearer’s intended motion in response to the gait support by detecting an interactive force that is generated from slight movements of the wearer. The degree of coordinated motion between the robot and the wearer can be adjusted by modifying the synchronization gain. In this study, we provided gait support using three high-gain conditions (A, B, C) to more easily follow the wearer’s movement in each joint. The synchronization gains for both the hip and knee joints (i.e., C h and C k) were set at 0.5 for condition A and at 0.4 for condition B. Condition C had different gains for the hip and knee joints (i.e., C h=0.4 and C k=0.5). With the walking test, we assessed the effects of the gait support provided by the curara system on walking smoothness (measured using the harmonic ratio: HR) and spatiotemporal parameters (gait speed, stride length, cadence) in SCD patients (n=12). We compared the performance between the three high-gain conditions and without assistance from the robot. Results

Like many shonen anime, it resets every season with an episode that both recaps what happened while slowly teasing what is to come. In its third season premiere, Demon Slayer does this, but before the table setting, we get a phenomenal opening sequence that once again brings the villains together to raise the stakes and increase tension.

Under condition C, the HRs in the anteroposterior, mediolateral, and vertical directions (HR-AP, HR-ML, and HR-V) were especially high compared with those under conditions A and B. The results of the statistical analyses using repeated measures analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s test showed that gait support with condition C results in a statistically significant increase in the HR-AP (2.04 ±0.52; p=0.025) and HR-V (2.06 ±0.37; p=0.032) when compared with walking without assistance from the system. In contrast, the gait speed, stride length, and cadence under condition C were no major changes in most patients, compared with the patient’s walking without assistance.
